Did we know that the Region agreed in principle that the next step would 
be to put an incinerator in when the landfill fills up?

Also saw this in the same article:

While single-family residences are getting the idea, the issue has been 
with multi-use bins, such as those at apartment buildings. The 
difficulty, says Rastas Howard, is tracking down who is contaminating 
the recyclables

I'm writing about plastics for next week's column. I saw The Story of 
Plastic doc that our  pals from New Hamburg sent out a notice about. The 
contamination of the plastics is one of the major reasons China stopped 
taking our plastic. This is definitely a valid concern for 
multi-residential buildings and I'd love to know how to address it.

Hope you're all staying well,

Susan K
